Butler is 5-9 in the conference and 1-6 on the road. The defense is seventh in the 11-team Big East in points surrendered. They're also 10th in turnover margin (-3.92). Butler is on an 11-30 run on the road. Meanwhile, Xavier has a winning Big East record. The offense is second in scoring (77.4 points per game), third in shooting (.472), and second from the charity stripe (.779). The Musketeers have a decent shot of reaching the NCAA Tournament winning four of six after an 85-68 rout of DePaul. Xavier is on a 53-16 straight-up run at home, so back home court to win the game. Play Xavier on the moneyline.

Pro Picks
Xavier at Butler
The Xavier Musketeers will open the Big East Tounament against 18-13 Butler, who had a much better year than expected. Xavier had to go the entire season without Zach Freemantle, and it certainly hurt this team. Butler slowed the pace down late in the season as they closed with seven straight games UNDER the total, and their shooting has been poor as they shot 43% or less in six of seven. I think the defense shows up here as the loser likely shuts it down for the season. Make the play on the UNDER.
